I will be on leave November 1st - December 31st, subject to changes. The thing I like about KPMG is that it gives me so much flexibility! I’m excited about my leave, but what will I be doing at home for months while everyone is at work? Mother says I should study for my last exam paper…hmmm…hmmm…maybe I should listen to her for once…

Speaking of writing for exams, the registered exam centre location for my final exam paper is in Calgary. This whole thing means that I must be back to Calgary before December. I haven’t booked my ticket yet. I am assuming that there will be seats available…if not I will be SCREWED. Heh.

I’ll be really bored in Canada, so guys and gals, do come visit me if you are interested in experiencing the awful winter. Brrrrrrrrr. *Shivers*. I’ll welcome you with open arms. I can bring you to the tourisey areas if you’d like - Lake Louise, Banff, the Rocky Mountains blah blah blah. I’m not sure how thats gonna work out because I ain’t got a drivers licence. Maybe I’ll drive without a licence. The worse thing that could happen is we get caught, spend the night in jail, and get deported back to Malaysia the next day…hmmm…okla, not a big deal.

So really! I am really serious about ‘recruiting’ people to Canada so that my life wouldn’t be dull. So come visit me if you are interested! It’ll be worth it I promise.

I would like to have a break from KK, and I do miss Calgary sometimes. I miss walking alone in the shopping malls; observing people during rush hour. I miss going to the library and reading tons of books! I miss my multi-step classes at the YMCA. I miss baking sugar cookies at home; and the spicy cinnamon-ie smell that comes from the oven! I even miss the fresh feeling I get from the freezing cold weather during winter time! Crazy!

Okay okay, you may ask, if I miss so many things in Calgary, why don’t I just go back then? Well, that is because I love KK too! I love the freedom I get in KK. No cooking, no cleaning, no laundry! I enjoy the warm weather here, and I love the fact that I don’t have to plan anything when I go out. When I feel bored, I can just call my friends up, get the car keys and off I go. As well, my family is here. Mom and dad are getting older day by day, even though they didn’t mention anything about me staying back, I know they would want me to be here with them.

The past two years have been amazing to me. I met so many people, made so many friends! My life has been a bit chaotic, some would say a bit too chaotic at times! But I didn’t mind it, not at all. I enjoyed every moment of laughter, tears, happiness and sadness I experienced. That was certainly a stark contrast from my ever boring life in Calgary back then.

If I go back, I will get good pay, but at the expense of a life? I will be lonely as hell and I will DEFINITELY shrivel up like a prune! I feel sick thinking about the day when I leave the KK airport, all red-eyed with tears streaming down my face! Rest assure, that is exactly what will happen! I hate saying goodbye! BLAH! I guess I really can’t have the best sides of both world hey?
